Do you think there should be a law for pregnant teens on what they can do with there babies?
I think that Teens should only have 2 choices if they get pregnant! 1. Have an abortion
2. Give the baby up for adoption.
I think it should be illegel for a teen to keep a baby!
They have no business having kids. They are kids them selves!
And there are so many people in this country that want a baby and can't have one.
I think your views are pretty radical and may be right for a specific situation you are familiar with.
Remember that there are a lot of different situations and that there are young women who successfully raise children. I don't recommend it, but I know it happens.
no abortion the babies are innocent.
I think you shouldn't dictate what teens can or can't do cause people in the white house are trying to do the same thing and the last thing anybody needs is an outsider giving out opinions on what a stranger should do with their life or the life of somebody who doesn't have a choice. Good Luck with that though!!
My mother was a teen when she had me and I turned out just fine she gave me a good childhood.
Our income could have been better. But she still managed to give us love and happiness and instilled good values upon me. Now 32 years later my mother and I share a virtuous relationship. You could Say we grew up together . Now she is like one of my best friends. Thank God she did not give me up for adoption or murder me.

OK, you are extreme! I was 19 yrs. old when I had my first son, and there would be NO WAY, I would have given up my baby! You make your bed ,you lie in it.Maybe if our young girls had better self esteem and better things to do(like better after school programs, and such) they would not get into these circumstances. What these teens should be taught is that the system which they can LEAN on is not to be abused. Everyone makes decisions in their lives that they may not know exactly how to handle the consequences. If their parents had a better eye on them, and wouldn't let them run around with not communicating with their friends parents about what kida are doing together and where they are at all times and keeping closer tabs, we wouldn't have this issue. Now I am one of the rare circumstances that I was already through college, but it made me have to reevaluate my life plan.Instead of being a carpenter which I had studied since age 14yrs, I had to work at a crematorium, a choice that put food in my childs stomach and a roof over our heads. I didn't go on welfare and didn't depend on tax payers to find my way. Let these teens struggle a bit,but help them to get to a point where they are self sufficent, don't let them USE and ABUSE the system. There are alot of good teen parents, and there are those that need serious help, but you shouldn't just generalize. Everyone is unique and has unique circumstances.. There are alot of cultures that marry off and have babies at a young age. They may be kids but, We as a society need to take hold of this problem and educate our teens better, not punish them by taking their babies away to be put into a system where there's not enough people who want them or making them Kill them.I'm sorry, but I have to DISAGREE with you completely. Education, Guidance and Better Parenting, not adoption and abortion.
I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOU.I'M 16 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE 2 DAUGHTERS.A 4 YEAR OLD AND 4 MONTH OLD!I MAY STILL BE A KID MYSELF BUT I KNOW WUT I'M DOING!!AS FOR THE ABORTION THING I WOULD NEVER KILL MY BABY.THATS LIKE YOU KILLING AN INNOCET PERSON!!ADOPTION??NEVE!I LOVE MY CHILDREN AND I'M A VERY GOOD MOTHER AND MY BOYFREIND IS A GREAT FATHER.WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS NOW.IT DUZNT AFFECT MY SCHOOLWORK.YEAH I'M STILL IN SCHOOL AND I HAVE A JOB AND HE HAS A JOB AND JUST RADUATED.JUST BECUZ I'M YOUNG DUZNT MEAN THAT I CANT RAISE A CHILD.SO NEXT TIME U SAY SUMTHIN LIKE THAT THINK ABIUT ME!!
I think you are not thinking clearly. I know at least 20 moms who started thier family young, including me. they are all good moms. my grandma started her family at 15, and her mom at 14 and they make the best moms and grandmas. my mom started her family at 19 I did the same thing, and I wouldn't trade my kids for all the education or freedom in the world. Infact nowadays its waaayy easier to be a young mom. There are lots of programs that help young moms that wern't avalible just years ago.
The people who need to give thier kids up aren't always teens.There are lots of teen moms who are doing a better job than older ones.Teen moms can sympathize With thier kids better because they still remember being the kid.Understanding the frustrations and hurdles that kids have just to live in todays world.
I think teens that get pregnant should have no choice (except in extreme instances) but to keep the child and raise and take care of it like everyone else, but I also think the teens guardian should have to take an active part in caring for them both until the parent reaches legal age.
thats just crazy. A mother is still a mother no matter what age she is. If she loves the child and takes care of it, whats the problem? So she's a teen, doesn't mean that she'd be a bad parent.
I really feel that your views and opinions are quite the extreme do you even have children?Considering I was teen mother I was a senoir in high school still managed to graduate with a two week old son now my son has recently moved out working for the Union and will be turning 20 on May 23rd.My mother also was a teen parent had 5 children by the time she was 24 we all managed to grow up and have families of our own. I work for a Emergency/Animal Hospital my younger sister was also a teen mother she works for UCSD in California working as a medical assistant in research studies on the affects of new drugs in human medicine.So why would you think it should be illegal for a teen to keep her baby her child. In all reality I feel that my sister and I strived even harder to get where we are at due to the simple fact we had more than ourselves to take care of.Now I am the mother of Three boys. And I being a teen mother back then I didn't think nothing of it, to me I was just a MOTHER.
